Attacked.. not invaded.. obviously you don't seem to know the difference since you had to point that out. You seem also to not address the fact that the situation was different in 1998 as opposed to 2003.

Hmmm...how to respond without stooping to insults.

• Attacked vs. invaded: When 12 years of warnings, and "one last chances," and sanctions, and bombings don't work, policy makers are left with increasingly few options.
• The situation was different in 1998 as opposed to 2003: Yep, you're right on that one. In between, a little thing commonly referred to as "9/11" happened. You do remember, don't you? Multiple hijackings, buildings burning and crumbling, the United States Capitol under attack (first time since 1812), anthrax terrorism all up and down the East Coast, the New York Stock Exchange shut down, airplanes grounded...the "situation" was vastly different in the pre- vs. the post-9/11 world. President Bush said he would take the fight to the terrorists, and those who harbor and support them. That is EXACTLY what he has done and continues to do.

Your right.. how do you respond with out resorting to insults.. I was the one that said the difference between 1998 and 2003 was Sept 11th as my first post you responded to. Lay off the weed Mr. short term memory boy.
